The World Food Programme is warning that most of Gaza’s heavily damaged roads will become unusable in the coming months when rain and flooding are expected in the Palestinian enclave, Al Jazeera reports.

“Alongside the desperate needs of today, we must think about what’s coming. We won’t be able to bring food to the people of Gaza unless urgent repairs are done on these roads,” said Antoine Renard, the WFP’s country director for Palestine.

“We must be able to bring in the heavy machinery that is needed and work with communities so we have the labour to fix the roads before the rain comes,” he added.
